Normes pour la mise en œuvre de la Politique de lutte contre le blanchiment de capitaux et le financement du terrorisme
Summary
The GCF's AML/CFT Standards define the framework for managing financial integrity risks, outlining roles for the Secretariat and Independent Integrity Unit, risk-based due diligence for counterparties, and mechanisms for reporting suspicious activities. It mandates annual institutional risk assessments and provides guidelines for capacity building and record-keeping to align with international best practices and FATF recommendations.
Key insights
- The GCF implements a risk-based approach to AML/CFT, which includes an annual institutional risk assessment to identify residual risks and an annual compliance review to test the effectiveness of controls.
- The Secretariat must perform Counterparty Due Diligence (CDD) before entering contractual relationships or making disbursements, identifying beneficial owners and applying stricter measures for high-risk categories such as Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), non-profit organizations, and financial institutions providing correspondent banking services.
- The GCF prohibits relationships with specific high-risk entities, including shell banks, unlicensed banks, unregulated money or value transfer services (MVTS), and financial institutions that issue bearer shares or maintain anonymous accounts.
- All GCF staff, board members, and external members are obligated to report any suspicious activity or 'red flags' to the head of the Independent Integrity Unit (IIU) without undue delay.
- The GCF provides training and capacity-building support to counterparties to help them develop AML/CFT policies, technical compliance programs, and risk detection capabilities, particularly when gaps are identified during accreditation or integrity reviews.
- The GCF's AML/CFT standards are subject to review every two years to ensure they reflect international best practices and updated Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recommendations.
